CBRN incidentsJune workshop on approaches to CBRNE incidents

The National Research Council (NRC), through a grant sponsored by NIST OLES, is organizing a workshop on Thursday, 20 June 2013 on All-of-Government Approaches to International Consequence Management for CBRNE Incidents.

The event will be held at the National Academy of Sciences Building’s Auditorium, 2101 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.

NIST says that the workshop will start to build a coalition of diverse experts and stakeholders to explore ways to improve an all-of-government approach that increases resilience to international chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) incidents. The goal of the workshop is to document and develop measures of resilience to CBRNE events. Information generated will be shared openly through web-based media.

The workshop is open to all nations and interested parties. To register to attend the upcoming workshop in person, please go here.
